Cavo SFP+ CBO 74752-2501-BL 5 m connettore maschio/maschio 10 Gbit/s

The SFP+ Cable CBO 74752-2501-BL 5 m Male/Male 10 Gbit/s is a direct-attach copper cable designed for short-range high-speed connections between compatible SFP+ ports. With a 5 metre length and fixed male SFP+ connectors on both ends, this cable provides a compact, low-latency link for switches, servers and storage equipment without the need for separate transceiver modules. Its 10 Gbit/s rated bandwidth makes it suitable for rack-to-rack interconnects and top-of-rack connectivity in data centre and enterprise LAN environments.

Advantages

This direct-attach SFP+ cable offers a cost-effective and simple alternative to optical modules by integrating the connector and cable in a single assembly. The built-in male SFP+ connectors reduce component count and installation steps, while the short copper link minimizes latency and power consumption compared with optical transceivers and separate patch cords. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability for typical rack-to-rack and within-rack runs.

Suitable for

• High-speed connections between switches and servers within racks
• Top-of-rack to aggregation switch links in data centres
• Short-distance storage area network (SAN) interconnects
• Environments where compact, low-latency cabling is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male on both ends
• Length: 5 metres
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Transmission medium: direct-attach copper
• Typical use range: short-range, within-rack and rack-to-rack

How to use

Install by inserting each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports until the retention latch engages. Ensure both networking devices are powered and support direct-attach copper SFP+ cables at 10 Gbit/s. Verify link status on connected equipment and adjust port configuration as required (speed/duplex and lane settings). Avoid excessive bending near the connectors and maintain cable slack to prevent strain on the ports.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this cable for short, direct connections up to 5 m between equipment that explicitly supports passive SFP+ direct-attach copper cables. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and handle the SFP+ connectors by the housing to avoid contamination or damage to the connector interface.
